Incredible first hand account and printed primary source on the battle for Guadalcanal. Due to his unique position as the S-3A and then the OpsO, he has incredible details on numerous behind the scenes aspects of the battle. Became one of the most crucial sources for my GCMH paper while at the NWC. He wrote it much later in life because he felt no accurate account of the battle existed. He explains how most of their original records were destroyed on Guadalcanal at a low point in the battle when they feared they were going to be overrun. His exceptional details on logistics operations in New Zealand were very informative. Not only was this a great source for my paper, but I highly recommend this for any Marine or anyone interested in USMC history. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"A VIVID NARRATIVE . . . A splendid first-person account of the costly campaign that enabled Allied forces to wrest Guadalcanal from the Japanese in World War II's Pacific theater." --Kirkus Reviews "By reading and studying No Bended Knee, the military professional can gain an appreciation for war at the strategic, operational, and tactical levels. Twining writes as he served his corps--boldly and straightforwardly, with impeccable detail and superb understanding of things strategic." --Airpower Journal "A VIEW FROM THE NERVE CENTER COMPLETE WITH TELLING PERSONAL ANECDOTES." --Journal Inquirer (Manchester, CT) "Twining adds notably to the literature on Guadalcanal and provides one of the best accounts of war as seen from the perspective of the often maligned yet absolutely indispensable headquarters staff." --Booklist "CANDID AND REVEALING." --Publishers Weekly No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
